[Verse 1]
Every night about this time
I go to sleep to keep from cryin'
Every night about this time
I go to sleep to keep from cryin’
Because my baby, yes my baby, always runnin' round

[Verse 2]
Oh, can't you see what’s wrong with me
I cried, and I cried, 'cause I'm not satisfied
Oh, can't you see what's wrong with me
I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm gonna have to let my baby be

[Verse 3]
Yes, love is a thing, not much money can buy
You don’t have someone to love you
You might as well lay down and die
Oh, can’t you see what's wrong with me
Yes, I’m afraid, I'm afraid, I'm gonna have to let my baby be
